| Engineering Journal 7.1.3: The show ipx interface Command To display the status of the IPX interfaces configured in the router and the parameters configured on each interface, use the show ipx interface in privileged EXEC command mode. The full syntax of the command is show ipx interface [interface unit] The argument interface is the interface and can be one of the following types: asynchronous, dialer, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), FDDI, loopback, null, serial, Token Ring, or tunnel. The argument unit is the number of the interface. For example, ethernet 0 specifies the first Ethernet interface. The following is sample output from the show ipx interface command: Router# show ipx interface ethernet 1 Ethernet1 is up, line protocol is up IPX address is C03.0000.0c05.6030, NOVELL-ETHER [up] line-up, RIPPQ:0,SAPPQ :0 Delay of this Novell network, in ticks is 1 IPXWAN processing not enabled on this interface. IPX SAP update interval is 1 minute(s) The following are the fields shown in this output:
Field | Description
Ethernet1 is …, line protocol is … | The type of interface and whether it is currently active and inserted into the network (up) or inactive and not inserted (down).
IPX address is … | The network and node address of the local router interface, followed by the type of encapsulation configured on the interface and the interface’s status.
NOVELL-ETHER | The type of encapsulation being used on the interface, if any.
[up ] line--up | Indicates whether IPX routing is enabled or disabled on the interface. line-up indicates that IPX routing has been enabled with the ipx routing command. line-down indicates that it is not enabled. The word in square brackets provides more detail about the status of IPX routing when it is in the process of being enabled or disabled.
RIPPQ: | The number of packets in the RIP queue.
SAPPQ: | The number of packets in the SAP queue.
Secondary address is … | The address of a secondary network configured on this interface, if any, followed by the type of encapsulation configured on the interface and the interface’s status. This line is displayed only if you have configured a secondary address with the ipx network command.
Delay of this Novell network,in ticks … | The value of the ticks field (configured with the ipx delay command).
IPXWAN processing … | Indicates whether IPXWAN processing has been enabled on this interface with the ipx ipxwan command.
IPX SAP update interval | Indicates the frequency of outgoing SAP updates (configured with the ipx sap-interval command).
